Active rest

1900

Pool - underwater comfortability
4 x 25m underwater w/ fins
2 x 25m underwater

5-10 minutes brick work in 7 ft w/ fins
5-10 minutes brick work w/ out fins

Handstand walks
Middle splits
R/L splits
1 arm handstand holds


  • Notes: Pretty damn productive rest day. I worked on a lot of things and feel like I really improved today, especially working on the splits. Did a little test/retest and after working middle splits for a while my squat was ridiculous...I had crazy extra room in external rotation with my feet ramrod straight, which was awesome to see. Fooling around in the pool with the bricks was fun. Did some drills where I had to stack, rearrange, organize, and do other various things with 3 bricks, just working on being calm underwater and holding my breath. Got a few strange looks. Doing things like that with a mask blacked out and/or full of water would be a good drill to practice down the road.
  • Sleep: Late night, but got plenty.
  • Nutrition: ice cream rest day...
  • Body: After a full day of eating I was at 169#!!! Holy tits. Calves are very sore, great other than that. Working the R/L splits really makes my hammies and hip flexors feel good, so I might start working on them regularly. Good goal to have.
  • General: Pumped to pick up some heavy shit tomorrow.
